Fran Hi, Would stay in Elmina or in Ampenyi? Great pictures!

Naa Very interesting, Ullo is where my dad comes from. Well done & great post

Naa i am from Jirapa but live in the uk now

Sophie Nicolaysen Another great blog entry. We really do take water for granted. I cannot even imagine how the sun feels at that temperature any more....winter is powering on. Enjoy the rain now it's arrived. You'll be the strongest woman soon carrying all that water! Lots of Love xxxx

sophie nicolaysen Oops. Accidentally rated your blog 3 stars....it's clearly 5 stars but I was actually just meant to be scrolling up the page!xxx

Sophie Nicolaysen Very interesting and though provoking Alice. Just because that is the culture in one country doesn't mean it couldn't be built into business here. Some of the top business I hear about do well because they respect that people work to live not live to work and so people are more enthused to work hard when it is required but also have a good balance in their lives. Blue Sky thinking....the system does not define us, we can define the system :) Really enjoyed reading these. Apologies for VERY delayed parcel send out....thesis is a little overwhelming so not actually leaving the house much! Will send end of next week as having a weekend off . Miss you xxxxx

heather delemare Brilliant Alice! This makes us think about our culture & values. However, I am sure that you will be very employable when you return.

Alice That's a good idea, I'll post a couple of recipes here soon. I make a great bean stew! Fufu is pounded yam. The yam is boiled first and then pounded with a little water until it's an elastic ball that you eat with soup. Ghanains love it. I'm not a massive fan!

felicity Holland love your accounts of your free time Alice. You'll have to send us some of your recipes ... and what on earth is 'fufu'?

heather delemare parcels are on the way!! hope you have a really good and interesting christmas. we are looking forward to hearing about it!! xxx
